Treach addresses Eminem: “I’m working on album, come see me, love you”

Treach of legendary hip-hop group Naughty by Nature made a new album announcement and addressed recent praise of him from Eminem at 2023’s Rock The Bells Festival.

“When Eminem shouts me out its nothin’ but love. Eminem said he almost stopped rapping when he heard me, when I heard Eminem I almost stopped rapping. I’m like this guy right here, you cant top nothing he is saying right now. Not cause he is a white boy, he is getting the accolades he is getting right now because he is one of the dopest emcees to touch the mic ever in history, and if you have a problem with it say it so he can chew yo a– out the f–king frame! I call him my light skinned twin. ” said Treach.

Then he directly addressed Eminem: “Em! I am working on a solo album and I ain’t taking it to nobody but you. So now you got it out there in the universe, come see me – love you.”

In a recent interview with New York Times magazine, Eminem revealed that he contemplated quitting after hearing Naughty By Nature’s debut album. “I studied MCs who used multi-syllabic phrasing. I would gravitate to Lord Finesse, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Masta Ace, Redman and Special Ed. Treach from Naughty By Nature too. When that first Naughty By Nature album dropped, that whole summer I could not write a rap. I was so depressed, I thought I would never be that good and I should just quit.”

Legendary Treach talks how much Eminem means for hip-hop culture & why he’s in debt to him

Legendary Treach, the lead rapper of the iconic hip hop group Naughty by Nature, has recently sat down with Andrew Moffatt on Hip Hop XXIV where the two talked about Naughty by Nature Verzuz, Tupac Shakur, Biggie and much more.

During the interview, Andrew asked the legendary rapper about Eminem, on which he replied: “I tell everybody that Eminem is my light-skinned twin Slim Shady! Hats off to him. He’s one of the greatest of all times if we talk about GOATs, his lyrical prowess, his consistency throughout the years, no matter what he has been going though personally, he always comes out on top. Comes out and give that music. Supplies the fans with that real live musical dope. It’s no-one like him and it’s not going to be no-one like him ever. Might never been another one who could do them lyrics and put them songs out. Hats off always and I hope he never stops. The way I was inspirational for him he’s inspirational to me. When I hear him I go and star t writing all over again.” says Treach.

Then he continues: “Hip-hop was black men’s sport in the white men’s world. That’s why Eminem was getting so much flat. He was white until he opened his mouth. And the skills took over all the doubts. He elevated hip-hop culture to a stratosphere that it would have never reached if it was black person’s music. He is one of the reasons why we have 50 years of hip-hop coming up. When we were coming up, we always heard that hip-hop would be around for five more years.”

When asked about wanting to release his album under Shady Records, he replied: “Me and Eminem spoke many times but one thing is, we never smoke business. It was always an admiration. I always believed that everything is god’s plan to happen at a right time. If that day ever comes, it’s gonna be dope. If it don’t, I never gonna be mad with him. Just him saying how much he admired me, you don’t know how much doors he opened up for me. He shouted me out and gave me so much love, I’m actually in debt to him. He does not even understand how much he did for me. And I love him for that. I love him forever.”

“When Em says he started rap because of me, that feels amazing. When you have one of the hottest to ever do it and he gives you props, it’s amazing. I call him my light-skinned brother. Nobody can never say he came out cause he white boy, wrote for white folks and stuff, no, no, no. No here is what I’mma tell. My bro-bro been calling me out and giving me props for a while.”

“Never in my career I did a solo album. but I got catalogs for years. I want to release it but I ain’t gonna release it to nobody unless Eminem puts it out. He been calling me out now I’m calling him out. Never, ever I attempted to do a solo album. And the only one who I trust with labels and all that, it’s Eminem and if he wants the offer he got it, if he don’t I will never hit the solo album. It will also be first time you hear me and him on records cause you know Em gonna be all on the album.” says Treach
